Jun 19 Lavender Almond Scones

Oooooooooo so fancy! These are perfect with a cup of white tea. They are soft and just a little crisp and boy do they smell great! We've been on a scone kick lately. They are just so easy to make. And you can whip these bad boys up in no time!

Here are the ingredients:

2 cups of flour

1 tablespoon of dried lavender

1/2 teaspoon on baking soda

1 tablespoon of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/4 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of cold butter, cubed

1/2 cup of buttermilk

1 egg

1 tablespoon of almond extract

1 tablespoon of butter / vanilla extract

And for the glaze:

1 cup of powdered sugar

1 teaspoon of almond extract

1 teaspoon of butter / vanilla extract

3 to 5 tablespoons of milk

Add your lavender to your food processor.

Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar. Pulse a few times to mix well.

Add in your cubed butter, and pulse until it resembles cornmeal.

Add in the buttermilk, egg and extracts. Process until it comes together into a ball of dough.

These are the extracts I use.

When the dough has formed, turn it out onto a floured work surface. Flatten it into a circle.

Cut the dough into 8 wedges.

Place wedges on a baking sheet, or pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes.

While the scones are baking make your glaze. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar to a bowl.

Add your extracts.

Then add in 3 tablespoons of milk. Mix well, add a tablespoon at a time more if needed.

They're ready when they have browned slightly on the tops.

Drizzle the glaze over the tops while warm. Garnish with a little lavender if you like.
